Chief Petty Officer P.J. Hayes

Patrick performs a living history project called ‘From Cork to D-Day’ based on the life and times of Chief Petty Officer – Patrick Joseph Hayes.

‘From Cork to D-Day’ focuses on the real life experiences of Patrick’s father’s life whilst at serving at sea during the Second World War.

After recent successes at local primary schools where Patrick kept the children spellbound with his dramatic stories including the sinking of the Graf Spee to the evacuation of Dunkirk to Normandy Beaches.the pride of the German fleet, he is looking forward to further opportunities to perform this piece.
